    Bluetooth Expansion for Home Reciever

    Have an older stereo / record player from the 70’s that I love but wanted to have the option to play Bluetooth from my phone to the stereo. This option has worked well for that. It is a bit quieter than normal radio or records when playing so the volume will need to be adjusted up but was the best route to go if you didn’t want to purchase a new receiver.

    It's perfect. The sound quality is great (I hear no degradation vs. a lossless fiber optic connection to the receiver). It has been 100% reliable -- never losing connection or dropping audio. The price is very reasonable. The power switch is nice if not using frequently (even though it uses very little power). And I love that it has a digital out.

    This unit works perfectly to integrate wireless digital technology with old school high end stereo systems where you still have to use patch cords between components. I am extremely satisfied with this piece of technology.

    Crystal clear audio (when not cutting out) and easy Bluetooth connectivity. Latency below average and signal weak and erratic. Disappointing.

    I bought this so that I could play music from my iPhone through an old receiver. My phone discovered it right away, and Spotify is working great through it. It even includes a cable necessary for connecting to the red-and-white connectors on the back of receivers. I like that it has a power switch, unlike some less-expensive models.

    I bought this Bluetooth device for my JBL EL500 powered speakers to bring my self into the year 2020. I went to Best Buy and found this little guy while browsing. It is easy to plug in and get going. It does require a power plug. Works very well with about a 20 foot range. Meets my needs.

    I wish it was a little less expensive, but in this case perhaps you get what you pay for. This little receiver - a new version of a Rocketfish receiver I also own and love - is truly good... reception is flawless throughout the church in which I installed it, and sound quality is superb. Easy to connect, and a solid connection. Well worth it.

    My audio equipment is fairly high end but a bit older so I wanted something I could stream audio to. I live about 60 miles from Chicago so this is a fringe area for FM radio reception with this adapter I can now stream audio from the station's app and listen at a much higher quality than broadcast. The music sounds great. I don't use other streaming services but am now temped to check them out. If you want to add streaming to your older system THIS little adapter is a great, inexpensive, way to do it!

    I needed a Bluetooth adapter for my older Denon Stereo System, and this one worked the best of the few I tried, so I settled on it. It comes with a few different ways to attach it, so you can use it for many ways. The range is far enough that I'll never lose signal when streaming music from my phone to my home Stereo. It's a great product and you have the Best Buy 14 day return so check it and you will keep it

    Good sound and setup was simple. Only thing i don't really like is the device does not disconnect from the last phone or tablet it was connected. So if you change input devices frequently you have to remember which one it was last connected.

    I use this in my truck that only has a AUX port. With this blue tooth reciever i now can pair my phone to listen to audio books and music from my cell phone. It has very clean sound and will automatically reconnect to my phone. I use a USB cable to power the unit. Works great.
